Desist? No, we resist, and will put it out faster

-

A CITY publisher who got a cease-and-desist letter from President Trump’s lawyer has responded by moving up the release of a bombshell book to Friday morning. “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House” by Michael Wolff (photo), which paints a chaotic picture of Trump’s first year in office and implies he never even wanted to win the 2016 presidenti­al election, was originally going to be released Tuesday. It will now be available at 9 a.m. Friday, said Johanna Dickson, a spokeswoma­n for publisher Henry Holt. “Due to unpreceden­ted demand, we are moving the onsale date for all formats,” the spokeswoma­n said Thursday. The announceme­nt came just a few hours after Trump’s personal lawyer, Charles Harder, sent a cease-and-desist letter to the publishing house, demanding it shelve the book. “We are investigat­ing numerous false and/or baseless statements that you have made,” Harder wrote in the letter. Dickson declined to discuss Harder’s letter.
